This thread is weird. I'm Asian, an international student, studied at UNSW, English is my first language, I don't limit my social interaction within cliques and I don't pee on toilet seat covers. Naturally, I take offense at the OP's statement. I thought Coogee is one of the more "progressive"...

Yes, and I would avoid it with a 10 feet pole if its the same guy from ASB Business Laws teaching it. It has the most ridiculous inconsistencies in assessment grading and no one could tell you why you were awarded the mark as there were no comments in the graded piece of work nor will the...

I know posting assessment e-mails is ultra-lame, but it's my last session and I've never been so excited over uni. It's the END, finally! UNSW Assessment Results for Semester 2 2009 Issued at Tue Dec 1 17:20:02 2009 ======================================================== Session...

How is it possible that people have gotten results sent out yesterday? There doesn't appear to be anything coming through yet and I was told today (December 1st) is the last day lecturers could still make changes to marks if they wanted to, with an afternoon cut-off at which point e-mails would...

Results tomorrow evening!

Anyone remembered what questions were asked? I didn't sit for this exam.

COMP results are released either via WebCMS or sturec. In a CSE terminal, ~cs1917/bin/classrun -sturec

Oh how I wished UNSW considers 80+ as a HD. It's annoying when they assign HD to 85+ only as that depresses our grades when compared to other unis, making us look bad next to grads from other unis. Sometimes, in a rush, HR will only skim read the grades and that puts us at a disadvantage.

But that's contradictory to what Henry Yip will tell you. He says you must attend all lectures.... :p

The major question I have is how do the students who get 90%-100% in this course do it?

Perhaps the uni servers are now so fast and efficient that they can concurrently push out 50000 mails tomorrow morning at 9am sharp. If I'm not mistaken, the web services are now outsourced or will be soon enough.

Don't worry, I lied. Results should be out in 3,2,1, .....

UNSW is cutting costs this year due to severe operational losses and as such, no results will be released via e-mail to reduce infrastructure costs, especially when students often bombard the servers around this time.

Released last Wednesday.

Where did you hear this? I don't think people fail 3rd year SENG THAT easily. By 3rd year, if you survived your first 2 years of COMP and SENG and know how to program well, you will survive 3rd year SENG. I have only one advice, i.e. get to know your cohorts, form a good team and work together.
